THE SŪRYAŚATAKA OF MAYŪRA
cf. bhayacakitadṛśa in Caṇḍiśataka, stanza 100), the genitive of
agent with gamya (stanza 23; cf. Candiśataka, stanza 42), the
locative (daviyasi) to express the limit of motion (stanza 22),
the locative (cakre tṛṣṇām) to express the object of a feeling
(stanza 59), the avyayibhava compound adhijaladhi (stanza 88),
and the locative absolute with an adverb-usually yatra-forming
one member (stanzas 20, 76, 83, 85, 88, 95). There is also the
accusative alim (stanza 38), apparently used as a sort of object
of the peculiar alīḍhapūrva.
Among the verb forms may be noted the combination vitara-
titarām (stanza 28), in which the comparative suffix is added to a
personal form of a verb; śuska (stanza 83), 'dried,' used with
the force of a participle; and the imperative in -tät. This last-
named form is said by Whitney¹ to be of rather rare occurrence
in the later language, but there are 21 instances of it in the
Suryaśataka, and 17 in the Candiśataka. In the Süryaśataka the
commonest example is stāt, 'may it be,' which occurs in stanzas
5, 16, 21, 27, 35, 51, 70, 78, 87 (v. 1. syāt), 93. The other cases
are: avatāt (stanzas 30, 59, 71, 83, 85, 99), upanayatāt (stanza
26), apaharatät (stanza 31), upacinutat (stanza 40), vyasyatāt
(stanza 48), and punītät (stanza 76). There is also the impera-
tive jahihi (stanza 59; cf. Canḍiśataka, stanza 34) with short
penult, a form allowed by the grammarians and doubtless used
here to fit the meter; and the denominative participles, vetraya-
māṇāḥ (stanza 11), sūtradhārāyamāṇaḥ (stanza 50), and pad-
marāgāyamāṇaḥ (stanza 56).
To the above list I would add also the double negatives
(stanzas 23, 38, 59, 87); the absence of ya as correlative to sa
(stanzas 33 and 98); the absence of sa correlative to ya (stanza
24; cf. Candiśataka, stanza 9); the adverb rucimat (28)-an
adverb with suffix -mat being, seemingly, a rare occurrence³; the
long compounds gadyapadyavyatikaritavacohṛdyam (36) and
akṣuṇṇahemopalapaṭalam (44), used as adverbs; the compound
alīḍhapūrva (38), the -purva having the force of an adverb;
